ABSTRACTIn this study the influence of heat input (HI) and heat treatment on submerged arc welded duplex SAF 2205 steel joints has been evaluated. In particular, multi-pass welding operations have been performed on 18 mm thick plates using four different heat inputs; a post-weld solubilizing heat treatment has been carried out in order to reduce the microstructural effects on the structure of the heat affected zone (HAZ). Instrumented impact strength tests have been performed on Charpy samples machined from the welded joints; the total absorbed energy and the two complementary contributions of initiation and propagation energies have been evaluated and correlated to the percentages of ferrite and austenite. The microstructures and the fracture profiles have been observed using an optical microscope (OM) and quantitatively analyzed by means of an image analyzer. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) has been used to study the fractured surfaces. Hardness profiles have been performed across the joints in order to verify the hardness variations. A total absence of secondary phases has been found on the joints due to the performing of a suitable solubilizing heat treatment after the welding process. The results have shown that the impact properties of the samples have been mostly affected by the different heat inputs; in some cases a partial welding penetration has been found.

AbstractThe effect of aging heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic steel was investigated in this article. The microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the microstructure of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic is composed of austenite. This steel was strengthened by precipitates of secondary phases that were mainly M23C6 carbides and NbCrN nitrides. As aging treatment time increased, the tensile strength first rose (0–3,000 h) and then fell (3,000–5,000 h) due to the decrease of high density of dislocations. The impact absorbed energy decreased sharply, causing the sulfides to precipitate at the grain boundary. Therefore, the content of sulfur should be strictly controlled in the steelmaking process.

In the present study, MIG welding is carried out on low carbon steel type (AISI 1015) by using electrode ER308L of 1.5mm diameter with direct current straight polarity (DCSP). The joint geometry is of a single V-butt joint with one pass welding stroke for different plate thicknesses of 6, 8, and 10 mm. In welding experiments, AISI 1015 plates with dimensions of 200×100mm and edge angle of 60o from both sides are utilized. In this work, three main parameters related to MIG welding process are investigated, which are welding current, welding speed, heat input and plate thickness, and to achieve that three groups of plates are employed each one consists of three plates. The results indicate that increasing the weld heat input (through changing the current and voltage) leads to an increase in widmanstatten ferrite (WF), acicular ferrite (AF) and polygonal ferrite (PF) in FZ region, and a reduction in grain size. It is observed that the micro-hardness of welded AISI 1015 plate increases as the weld heat input decreases. As well as increasing the weld heat input results in an increase in the width of WM and HAZ and a reduction in the impact energy of the weld joint of AISI 1015 at WM region. Also, it is noted the corrosion rate of weld joint increases with increase of Icorr due to increasing in welding current (heat input), corrosion rate increased up to (0.126µm/yr.) with increasing of heat input up to (1.27 KJ/mm).

The study was conducted to evaluate the impact toughness of flux-cored arc welded of SM570-TMC steel joint under different heat inputs, 0.9 kJ/mm (low heat input) and 1.6 kJ/mm (high heat input). Welding wire containing 0.4%Ni was selected on this experiment. Multi-pass welds were performed on SM570-TMC steel plate of 16 mm in thickness with a single V-groove butt joint on flat position (1G). The evaluation consists of observations on microstructure using an optical microscope and SEM-EDS, and mechanical properties including tensile, microhardness Vickers and Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact test at temperatures of 25, 0 and-20 °C. Results showed that the impact toughness of the base metal (BM) was higher than the weld metal (WM) at all test temperatures. Hardness and impact toughness of WM at low heat input was observed higher than when applied a high heat input. The welded samples at low and high heat inputs had high of tensile strength, and the fracture seemly occurs on the BM. Microstructure observation showed that at a high heat input, larger grains and microsegregation were observed. It might affect on decreasing their impact property.

Abstract Dissimilar welding offers exiting benefits for a wide range of engineering applications, such as automotive bodies, piping systems of nuclear power plants, health equipment. The main advantages of dissimilarwelding applications areweight reductions, lower costs, unique properties combinations, and improved energy-efficiency. The properties of dissimilar weld depend on the type of welding process used, the accuracy of the process parameters control, the characteristics of the base metal and the heat treatment procedures. The current study reviews the scientific literature on the topic of thermal analysis of dissimilar high-strength steels (HSS) welding. The review of experimental data was carried out to analyze the variable heat input effect on dissimilar welds. The results indicate the welds mechanical properties irregularity and reduction in toughness and tensile strength due to uneven changes in the microstructure. Furthermore, postweld heat treatment (PWHT) often resulted in the formation of intermetallic compounds whose properties are dependent on the duration of treatment. The research results can be used to optimize the heat input of the HSS welding process.

4330V is a high strength, high toughness, heat treatable low alloy steel for application in the oil, gas and aerospace industries. It is typically used for large diameter drilling parts where high toughness and strength are required. The research describes the effect of preheat temperature, interpass temperature, heat input, and post weld heat treatment on strength, hardness, toughness, and changes to microstructure in the weld joint. Welding with the lower heat input and no post weld heat treatment resulted in optimal mechanical properties in the weld metal. Austempering at 400 °C resulted in optimal mechanical properties in the HAZ. Increasing preheat and interpass temperature from 340 °C to 420 °C did not improve Charpy V-notch values or ultimate tensile strength in the weld metal or heat affected zones. The higher temperature increased the width of the heat affected zone. Austempering at 400 °C reduced HAZ hardness to a level comparable to the base metal. Both tempering and austempering at 400 °C for 10 hours reduced toughness in the weld metal.

AbstractWithin the scope of experiments, the effects of stitch yarn type, such as aramid, glass, and nylon, and biaxial, warp, and weft yarn type, such as aramid and glass, on biaxial weft knitted (BWK) composites were investigated. Five different types of composite panel, which include fiber contents, such as glass-glass-glass, glass-glass-nylon, glass-glass-aramid, aramid-glass-aramid, and aramid-aramid-aramid, were fabricated by hand lay-up method. After the production of composite panels, three-point bending impact and plate bending impact tests were conducted on the specimens. Microstructural characterization of the impact-tested materials was performed using an optical microscope. This study shows that composites with BWK preforms consisting of fiber combinations such as glass-glass-aramid had higher plate bending impact and three-point bending impact properties than the other four types of composite structure.

The tensile and impact properties of SAE4320 and SAE8620 alloys were investigated. Various heat treatments were applied to these two alloys, including different pre-heat treatment. The results shown that after Carburizing and Quenching, both SAE4320 and SAE8620 alloys were highly sensitively to V-notches for their impact samples. In any case, SAE4320 alloy revealed higher tensile strength, better impact toughness and deformation property. Previous work shown that after Carburizing and Quenching, the impact toughness of SAE8620 alloy was too low, the products made of it was very dangerous. Based on the results, a new advanced product was made of SAE4320 alloy instead of SAE8620 alloy. And the new product exhibited good properties. The impact value of the new product far exceeded the older products.

Two kinds of industry trial X90 pipeline steel which had different chemical composition were chosen as experimental materials, and the grain coarsening, microstructure evolution characteristics and the variation rules of low-temperature impact toughness in weld CGHAZ of this two steel under different welding heat input were studied by physical thermal simulation technology, SEM, optical microscope and Charpy impact test. The results show that microstructure in weld CGHAZ of 1# steel is mainly bainite ferrite (BF) and most of the M/A constituents are blocky or short rod-like; the grains of 2# steel are coarse and there is much granular bainite (GB), meanwhile M/A constituents become coarse and their morphology is changing from block to elongated laths; alloy content of X90 pipeline steel under different welding heat input has great effect on the grain size of original austenite, and when heat input is lower than 2.0KJ/mm, Charpy impact toughness in CGHAZ of lower alloy content pipeline steel is good; as heat input increases, impact toughness in CGHAZ of 1# steel is on the rise, and it is high (between 260J and 300J) when heat input is between 2.0KJ/mm and 2.5KJ/mm and the scatter of impact energy is small; impact toughness of 2# steel decreases gradually and the impact energy has obvious variability.

The effect of large heat inputs (200 kJ/cm) on the microstructures and toughness of heat-affected zone of Nb microalloyed X70 pipeline steels were simulated utilizing Gleeble-3800. The microstructures were observed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and electron backscattered diffraction technique. Results showed that when the large heat input welding was applied, big austenite grains and coarse microstructures were formed in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone, and thus the toughness of the coarse-grained heat-affected zone was seriously reduced. With the increase of Nb content, the toughness of the CGHAZ did not change remarkably under the large heat input welding.
